Ki.tzhaber, M.D., Governor Department of Environmental Quality 811 SW Sixth Avenue Portland, OR (53) TTY (53) Charles Martin PP&L Toketee Village 72 Toketee School Road Idleyld Park, Oregon RE: Source Water Assessment Report PP&L Toketee Village PWS # Dear Mr. Martin Enclosed is the Source Water Assessment Report for the PP&L Toketee Village. The assessment was prepared under the requirements' and guidance of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act and the US Environmental Protection Agency, as well as a detailed Source Water Assessment Plan developed by a statewide citizen's advisory committee here in Oregon over the past two years. The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and.the Oregon Health Division (OHD) are conducting the assessments for all public water systems in Oregon. The purpose is to provide information so that the public water system staff/operator, consumers, and community citizens can begin developing strategies to protect your source of drinking water. There are three drinking water intakes on the North Umpqua River downstream oftoketee Village's intake including the intakes for the City of Glide (Glide Water Association), City of Roseburg and the Umpqua Basin Water Association. Activities and impacts in the Toketee Village drinking water protection area have the potential to also impact downstream users. The delineated drinking water protection area for Toketee Village is also included in the drinking water protection area for downstream providers, therefore they will be provided with copies of your report as well. We encourage you to work with them as you move forward with developing a protection plan. As you know, the 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act requires Consumer Confidence Reports (CCR) by community water systems. CCRs include information about the quality of the drinking water, the source of the drinking water, and a summary of the source water assessment. Public water systems are responsible for notifying their customers of the assessment results. The information from this assessment can be presented by distributing the "Summary Brochure" attached to the report. There is a blank space to insert instructions for how customers can obtain or review a copy of your source water assessment report. Distribution of any copies of the report must be done at the local level. At a minimum, we would suggest that a copy be placed at the local library, city hall, and/or public water supply office and your customers can review the report at their convenience. By mid-23, all results of these Ri <::11,-- DEQ-1

3 PP&L Toketee Village August 3, 21 Page 2 assessments will also be made available electronically to the public on DEQ's and OHD's websites. There are no regulatory requirements for you to develop a protection plan using the assessment results, but we hope your community will take the initiative to do so voluutarily. One of the goals of developing a Drinking Water Protection Plan is to address the facilities and land use activities that pose high or moderate risks for contaminating your public water supply. At a minimum, we recommend that the community seek ways to commuuicate and extend outreach to these facilities/activities with education and technical assistance to minimize the risk of contamination. As you begin thinking about developing a protection plan, it is also important to remember that not all of the assessment's inventoried activities will need to be addressed in a voluutary protection plan. If you move forward with developing a protection plan, the next step is to enhance the assessment inventory and, at that time, the "potential contaminant sources" which pose little to no threat to your public water supply can be eliminated from your list. We look forward to working with you to move forward with developing a protection plan and can assist you with limited resources at this time. In addition, we are developing some useful written guidance and materials that will assist your protection efforts and you will receive these when complete. We have enclosed one copy of the large GIS map of the watershed and the assessment results. A smaller version of this exact map is fouud in the report. If you have a need for additional copies of the large map, we must charge a small fee for each to cover the costs that were not budgeted by the program. Let me!mow if you need additional copies. If you have any questions or need more information, please do not hesitate to call me at Sincerely, --~Kf/Mv~ Julie K. Harvey, R.G.

5 Executive Summary The drinking water for PP&L Toketee Village is supplied by an intake on Toketee Lake. This public water system serves approximately 25 citizens. The intake is located in the Fish Creek Watershed in the North Urnpqua Sub-Basin of the Southern Oregon Coastal Basin.. There are three drinking water intakes on the North Urnpqua River downstream of the PP&L Toketee Village intake including the intakes for the City of Glide (Glide Water Association), City of Roseburg and the Urnpqua Basin Water Association. Activities and impacts in the Toketee Village drinking water protection area have the potential to also impact downstream users. The geographic area providing water to PP&L Toketee Village's intake (the drinking water protection area) extends upstream approximately.12 stream miles and includes 84 acres of lakes. The protection area encompasses a total area of 351 square miles. The delineated area also includes the Upper North Urnpqua, Clearwater Creek, Lernolo Lake, and Diamond Lake watersheds. Included in this area are a number of tributaries to the main stern including Clearwater Creek and its tributaries, Loafer Creek, and Lake Creek as well as Lernolo Lake and Diamond Lake. The elevation change from the upper edge of the watershed to the intake is approximately 5,8 feet. PP&L Toketee Village's intake is located at an approximate elevation of2,4 feet as North Urnpqua River flows into the valley floor from the foothills. An inventory of potential contamination sources was performed within PP&L Toketee Village's drinking water protection area. The primary intent of this inventory was to identify and locate significant potential sources of contaminants of concern. The inventory was conducted by reviewing applicable state and federal regulatory databases and land use maps, interviewing persons knowledgeable of the area, and conducting a windshield survey by driving through the drinking water protection area to field locate and verify as many of the potential contaminant source activities as possible. The primary contaminants of concern for surface water intakes are sediments/turbidity, microbiological, and nutrients. It is important to remember that the sites and areas identified are only potential sources of contamination to the drinking water, and water quality impacts are not likely to occur when contaminants are used and managed properly. The delineated drinking water protection area is primarily dominated by managed forestlands. A total of fifteen (15) potential contamination sources were identified within Toketee Village's drinking water protection area. All of these are located in the sensitive areas. The potential contaminant sources identified in the watershed that relate to recreation/forest management include Diamond Lake Resort, Lernolo Lake Resort, Toketee Campground, clear cut forestlands, road density, upstream darns/reservoirs, and stream crossings. Potential contaminant sources related to commercial and residential land uses include Toketee Ranger Station, Clearwater Village, Pacific Power & Light Control Center, Pacific Power and Light Hydro Project, two transportation corridors, areas of high density housing, and a transfer station. The potential contaminant sources within the drinking water protection area all pose a relatively higher to moderate risk to the drinking water supply. This provides a quick look at the existing potential sources of contamination that could, if improperly managed or released, impact the water quality in the watershed. The susceptibility analysis combines the results of the locations of the potential contaminant sources with the locations of the sensitive areas. Overlaying the locations of the moderate- to high-risk sources within the sensitive areas provides an indication of the areas that are highly susceptible to contamination. In the PP&L Toketee Village watershed, the results of the susceptibility "analysis" include the distribution of fifteen (15) identified high-to moderate-risk Oregon Source Water Assessment Report PP&L Toketee Village -PWS #

6 sources within the areas of highly permeable soils, high erosional soils, high runoff potential soils, and within the 1' setback from the streams. The susceptibility analysis provides the community and the public water system with information on where the greatest risk occurs and where to focus resources for protection. 2 Oregon Source Water Assessment Report PP&L Toketee Village- PWS # 41112

7 Introduction In 1996, Congress amended the Safe Drinking Water Act, implemented some new requirements, and provided resources for state agencies to assist communities in protecting the sources of their public water supplies. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed guidelines for implementing the new requirements to conduct "source water assessments" (EPA, 1997). In Oregon, the Oregon Health Division (OHD) and the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) are conducting the source water assessments. An assessment such as this one will be done for every public water system in Oregon regulated by the Safe Drinking Water Act. DEQ and OHD will each have specific tasks in accomplishing the assessments for a total of 2656 public water systems in Oregon. Of those 2656 public water systems, about 9% of these are groundwater systems drawing water from wells or springs, and 1% are surface water systems with intakes on streams, rivers, or lakes/reservoirs. The assessments in Oregon include delineating the source area supplying the public water system, identifying areas "sensitive" to contamination, and conducting an inventory of potential contamination sources in the area. Using the results of the inventory and sensitive areas, the susceptibility of the public water system is determined. OHD will provide the delineation for all groundwater systems and the identification of the sensitive areas within their source area. DEQ will delineate and identify the sensitive areas within the watersheds for the surface water systems. DEQ will conduct all inventories of the potential contaminant sources inside the drinking water protection areas and this is then used to estimate the public water system's susceptibility to contamination. Sources of information reviewed during this assessment included U.S. Geological Survey (U.S.G.S.) documents/websites, DEQ reports, EP A/DEQ databases, and other readily accessible reports. The reference list provides a few of the good sources of information used in the report. Time constraints do not allow research into all existing technical resources available for each system. As the assessment is performed, assistance from municipal water staff, state/federal land management officials, and community members will increase OHD and DEQ's abilities to characterize local hydrogeologic/hydrologic conditions, site-specific information, and ultimately increase the quality of the assessment. Where possible, DEQ staff has consulted local Natural Resource Conservation Service, county planning agencies, irrigation districts, and other natural resource officials. Many watersheds in Oregon provide water used for public or "domestic" drinking water supplies, irrigation, industry, hydro power, fish hatcheries, and of course, natural in-stream fish rearing. Watersheds vary considerably in terms of overall health and susceptibility to contamination. Most surface water sources for drinking water are filtered and undergo treatment (disinfection) prior to delivery to the consumer. The ability to adequately (and cost-effectively) treat drinking water from a surface water source is directly related to the quality of the water at the intake. Surface water intakes for public water supplies are generally very susceptible to increases in coarse sediments. Treatment facilities for public water supplies are very susceptible to increases in fine sediments, nutrients and other organic and inorganic contaminants. Treatment facilities are also negatively impacted by changes in temperature. Changes in surface water quality parameters can be caused by a variety of factors in any watershed. Detailed consideration of all the variables was beyond the scope of this assessment. The procedures for conducting these assessments were developed by a statewide advisory conunittee (Source Wa~er Assessment Plan, 1999). The value of preparing detailed procedures Oregon Source Water Assessment Report PP&L Toketee Village -PWS #

8 is in the ability to be consistent from one system to the next. There are also severe time constraints for the amount of time allowed to complete each public water system assessment. It is our intent to provide as much information about the watershed as our program resources allow. Using the results of this assessment, the public water system and the local community can then move forward with voluntarily developing and implementing a drinking water protection plan. The requirements for water quality monitoring of public water systems in Oregon provide some degree of assurance of safe drinking water; however, all systems are vulnerable to potential contamination. One of the best ways to ensure safe drinking water and minimize future treatment costs is to develop a local plan designed to protect against potential contamination. Not only will this measure add a margin of safety, it will raise awareness in the local community of the risks of drinking water contamination, and provide information to them about how they can help protect the system. It is our hope that each community will use the assessment results as a basis for developing a drinking water protection plan. Background PP&L Toketee Village is located in Douglas County, Oregon about 4 miles east of Glide on Highway 138. The drinking water for the PP&L Toketee Village is supplied by an intake on Toketee Lake. This public water system serves approximately 25 citizens. The intake is located in the Fish Creek Watershed in the North Umpqua Sub-Basin in the Southern Oregon Coastal Basin, Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) # The intake coordinates are approximately north latitude and west longitude as digitized by DEQ using the location provided by the Oregon Health Division. The study area for evaluating the extent of the PP&L Toketee Village Drinking Water Protection Area (DWP A) includes US Geological Survey topographic maps for the Diamond Lake (1978), Oakridge (1983), Cottage Grove (1979), and Roseburg (1979) quadrangles at the 1 :1, scale. The surface water intake plots on the U.S. Geological Survey Diamond Lake quadrangle topographic map. The North Umpqua Sub-Basin is primarily located in Douglas County and drains a northeastern section of the Umpqua River Basin. The Sub-Basin originates on the west slope of the Cascade Range near Diamond and Lemolo Lakes and is the catchment basin for approximately 1,35 square miles (USGS). The major tributaries for the North Umpqua River are the Clearwater River, Fish Creek, Copeland Creek, Boulder Creek, Steamboat Creek, Canton Creek, Rock Creek, the Little River, Oak Creek, and Sutherlin Creek. The climate in the North Umpqua River Sub-Basin area is characterized by moderate annual temperature and precipitation variations. Information on climate in the PP&L Toketee Village protection area is based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Toketee Falls and Lemolo Lake 3 NNW climate stations located at elevations of 2,6 feet and 4,8 feet above mean sea level respectively (Western Region Climate Center). The average annual temperature at Toketee Falls for the period of 1953 to 2 is 51 degrees and the annual temperature at Lemolo Lake is slightly cooler (46 degrees). Winters are cool and wet with dropping below freezing at Toketee Falls and Lemolo Lake in the winter months. The summers are dry and moderately warm to hot, with maximum average temperatures ranging from 7 to 85 degrees. Average annual precipitation is about 48 inches at Toketee Falls and 65 inches at 4 Oregon Source Water Assessment Report PP&L Toketee Village-PWS # 41112

9 Lemolo Lake. 65% to 7% of that precipitation occurs between November and March. The Toketee Falls station receives an average of 39 inches of total snowfall per year however only about one-inch of that actually accumulates to a measurable depth. The Lemolo Lake station receives an average of 22 inches of total snowfall per year and up to 3 8 inches of that accumulates to measurable depths. Delineation of the Protection Area Methodology The delineation of the source area or the "drinking water protection area" is a fundamental aspect of the assessment of a public water system. For surface water systems such as PP &L Toketee Village's, the drinking water protection area delineation process begins by identifying the watershed. The watershed area is also called the catchment basin of a receiving water body. The outer boundary of this watershed is the drainage divide formed by the surrounding ridges and hills. The surface water delineation includes the entire watershed area upstream of the public water system intake structure. This watershed area provides "source" water to the surface water intake. A map of the drinking water protection area provides the community with the knowledge of the geographic area providing the water to the intake. This is the area where contamination poses the greatest threat to the drinking water supply. lnformation about the drinking water protection area allows the community to develop management strategies that will have the most impact on protecting the source of the drinking water. Results DEQ has collected and reviewed data for the purpose of delineating the drinking water protection area for PP&L Toketee Village's intake on Toketee Lake. The scope of work for this report included collecting information from the water system operator, researching written reports, and establishing a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) basemap of the delineated watershed. PP&L Toketee Village's drinking water protection area is shown in Figure I. PP&L Toketee Village's drinking water protection area extends upstream approximately.12 stream miles and includes 84 acres of lakes. The delineated area encompasses a total area of 351 square miles. The intake is located in the Fish Creek Watershed. The delineated area also includes the Upper North Umpqua, Clearwater Creek, Lemolo Lake, and Diamond Lake watersheds. Included in this area are a number of tributaries to the main stem including Clearwater Creek and its tributaries, Loafer Creek, and Lake Creek as well as Lemolo Lake and Diamond Lake. The PP&L Toketee Village's intake is located at an approximate elevation of 2,4 feet and the upper edge of the watershed is located at an elevation of approximately 9,182 feet at Mt. Theilsen; therefore, the elevation change from the upper edge of the watershed to the intake is approximately 5,8 feet. Oregon Source Water Assessment Report PP&L Toketee Village-PWS #

10 Identification of Sensitive Areas Methodology After delineating the entire watershed, DEQ identified the "sensitive areas" within the watershed. The objective in determining the sensitive areas for surface water sources is to produce reliable information to the community and public water system that is useful in developing and prioritizing protection strategies. The list of the sensitive areas to be identified within drinking water watersheds was defined by the DEQ advisory connnittee as the procedures were developed (SW AP, 1999). The sensitive areas within a drinking water watershed includes both setbacks (land adjacent to stream) and other natural factors that increase the risk of contamination of the surface water. The result is an identification of a subset of the entire watershed. The sensitive areas are those where potential contamination sources or land use activities, if present, have a greater potential to impact the water supply. In establishing sensitive areas in a watershed, there are several limiting factors to take into account. In using a Geographic Information System (GIS) to delineate the sensitive areas within the watershed, DEQ locates existing GIS layers and other natural resource agency data sets. Not all areas of the state have been mapped for the natural resource parameters of interest or at the level of detail ideal for this type of analysis. The availability of data at appropriate scales is also a potential limitation. The sensitive area mapping may be limited simply by the lack of readily available data, and conducting additional research is not possible within the time frame allowed to do this assessment. DEQ staff has sought to obtain the best available information for each water system as the source water assessment was performed. There are four individual characteristics that determine the sensitivity of areas within the drinking water watersheds in the Source Water Assessment Plan (1999) procedures for Oregon water systems. A brief description of the sensitive area characteristics and the sources of the GIS data are included below. Sensitive Area Setbacks The first sensitive area is a setback using a consistent 1' (about 3 meters) distance from the water body. The 1' sensitive area setbacks are intended to identify those areas where there are higher risks of contamination by spills or other releases, simply due to their proximity to the water body. The sensitive area setbacks are identified as a minimum of 1' from centerline of the intake stream and all perennial tributaries within the delineated drinking water watershed. The distance of 1' was based on EPA national guidance for the distance to conduct the potential contamination source inventories adjacent to streams. High Soil Erosion Potential The soil erosion potential for non-forest Service lands is determined by combining the effects of slope and the soil erodibility factor ("K-factor"). Slopes within a watershed are evaluated using the 1 :24, SSURGO (Soil Survey Geographic Database) data sets from the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The slope for a map unit is a weighted average of the average slope. The soil erodibility factor is also available in the SSURGO database and quantifies the susceptibility of soil particles to detachment and movement by water including the effects of rainfall, runoff, and infiltration. The K factor used is a weighted average of only the value for the surface layer of the map unit. In the watershed, only soils with "high" erodibility ratings were mapped as sensitive 6 Oregon Source Water Assessment Report PP&L Toketee Village -PWS # 41112

11 areas. Soils that classify as "high" include soil with slopes greater than 3% and K factors greater than.25. This rating system is based on the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation from the USDA Agricultural Research Service as defined in the Washington's Standard Methodology for Conducting Watershed Analysis (Washington Forest Practices Board, 1993). Soil Resource Inventory (SRI) information from the US Forest Service was used for Umpqua National Forest lands. The SRI data does not provide a soil-erodibility factor that is comparable to SSURGO data. Therefore, the Sedimentation Yield Potential (which is used as a surrogate for the combination of slope and K Factor) is used. The SRI data provides this Sedimentation Yield Potential factor for "natural" conditions and for "accelerated" conditions (which assumes human disturbance on the soils such as logging or construction). DEQ used the "natural" conditions factor since this was more similar to the fields used from the SSURGO data. High Permeability Soils Soils identified in the US. Geological Survey geologic map of Oregon GIS layer (1 :5, scale) as Recent Alluvial Deposits (Qal) are mapped as sensitive areas due to the high potential for groundwater recharge adjacent to the stream. Alluvial deposits are typically very high permeability soils. These areas may be very vulnerable to rapid infiltration of contaminants to groundwater and subsequent discharge to a stream or lake/reservoir. High Runoff Potential The potential for high runoff rates for non-forest Service lands was evaluated using the 1:24, SSURGO (Soil Survey Geographic Database) data sets from the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Class D soils, which are defined as soils with very slow infiltration rates were mapped as sensitive areas within the boundaries of the drinking water protection area. Map units are assigned to hydrologic groups based on their majority component. A Class D soil is typified as clayey, has a high water table, or an impervious layer occurs at a shallow depth. Soils with these characteristics would have the potential for rapid runoff and subsequent transport of sediments and possible contaminants to the surface water body supplying the public water system. Soil Resource Inventory (SRI) information from the US Fore st Service was used for Umpqua National Forest lands. In some cases, the SRI data does not identify a dominant soil characteristic. Where dominant soil types were not specified in the SRI data, DEQ assumed the most conservative soil type applies and used those areas that were classified as "Group D" (soils with slow infiltration rates) to identify areas sensitive to high runoff potential. Additional Sensitive Areas There may be other natural characteristics within a watershed that can be mapped as sensitive. Modifying the list of sensitive areas in this assessment can be done by the public water system or the community by identifying resources and procedures that are appropriate for the individual system. For example, the local community may choose to add "transient snow zones'', high rainfall areas, and landslide/debris-flow hazards to the sensitive areas within their watershed. Due to time constraints, these additional areas will not be mapped by DEQ as part of this source water assessment, but can be added by the local community before developing a protection plan. Oregon Source Water Assessment Report PP&L Toketee Village- PWS #

12 Transient snow zones are typically defined as areas above 15 feet in the Oregon Coast Range, or above 2 feet in the Cascades. In some watersheds, these areas may be subject to rapid snowmelt or rain-on-snow events which increase the likelihood of transport of sediments to the surface water bodies in the watershed. Areas of high rainfall or irrigation rates may increase the likelihood of transport of sediments and possible contaminants to the surface water body. These areas can be identified using average annual precipitation data from Oregon Climate Service (years 1961 through 199) and irrigation/water rights data from Oregon Water Resources Department's water rights database. Mapping the high risk landslide and debris-flow areas can also be useful for evaluating sediment risks from natural hazards within a drinking water watershed. The Department of Forestry has recently completed GIS-based landslide and debris flow maps for western Oregon (Website address: or. us/ gis/ debris.html). The final watershed map for each public water system intake includes a composite of all sensitive areas identified by DEQ within the watershed. This composite or overlay will enable the communities and responsible agencies to focus future protection efforts in these sensitive areas. Results The sensitive areas within the PP&L Toketee Village's drinking water protection area are shown on Figure 2. These include the setbacks from the North Umpqua River main stem and all perennial tributaries, a small area of high soil permeability, and some large areas of high runoff potential. Areas with high soil erosion potential were not identified in the GIS layers. Good data coverage was available for the PP&L Toketee Village watershed for each of the sensitive areas. Inventory of Potential Contaminant Sources Methodology The primary intent of an inventory is to identify and locate significant potential sources of any of the contaminants of concern within the drinking water protection area. Significant potential sources of contamination can be defined as any facility or activity that stores, uses, or produces the contaminants of concern and has a sufficient likelihood of releasing such contaminants to the environment at levels that could contribute significantly to the concentration of these contaminants in the source waters of the public water supply. An inventory is a very valuable tool for the local community in that it: provides information on the locations of potential contaminant sources, especially those that present the greatest risks to the water supply, provides an effective means of educating the local public about potential problems, provides valuable awareness to those that own or operate facilities and land use activities in the drinking water protection area, and provides a reliable basis for developing a local protection plan to reduce the risks to the water supply. 8 Oregon Source Water Assessment Report PP&L Toketee Village-PWS # 41112

13 Inventories are focused primarily on the potential sources of contaminants regulated under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. This includes contaminants with a maximum contaminant level (MCL), contaminants regulated under the Surface Water Treatment Rule, and the microorganism Cryptosporidium. The inventory was designed to identify several categories of potential sources of contaminants including micro-organisms (i.e., viruses, Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium, and fecal bacteria); inorganic compounds (i.e., nitrates and metals); organic compounds (i.e., solvents, petroleum compounds and pesticides) and turbidity/sediments. Contaminants can reach a water body (groundwater, rivers, lakes, etc.) from activities occurring on the land surface or below it. Contaminant releases to water bodies can also occur on an areawide basis or from a single point source. When identifying potential risks to a public water supply, it is necessary to make "worst-case" assumptions. This is important because it is the POTENTIAL risk that we are attempting to determine through this procedure and it is simply not possible within our time constraints to conduct individual reviews or inspections at any of the facilities or land uses. The worst-case assumption that is made when considering potential risks to water bodies is that the facility or activity is not employing good management practices or pollution prevention. Under today's regulatory standards and environmental awareness, the majority of the identified activities and land uses employ "best management practices" (BMPs) in handling contaminants or preventing water quality degradation from their operations. It is important to note that while this assessment will list all POTENTIAL risks, many of these do not present actual risks to the water system. Environmental contamination is not likely to occur when contaminants are handled and used properly, or when BMPs are employed. The day-to-day operating practices and environmental (contamination) awareness varies considerably from one facility or land use activity to another. In-depth analysis or research was not completed to assess each specific source's compliance status with local, state and/or federal programs or laws. Further, the inventory process did not include an attempt to identify unique contamination risks at individual sites such as facilities (permitted or not) that do not safely store potentially hazardous materials. After the assessment is completed, the next step is to conduct an "enhanced" inventory that will look at the site-specific practices. The potential sources listed in the assessment that employ BMPs (required through regulations OR voluntarily) can be removed from the list during the next step in the process of developing a voluntary drinking water protection plan. Assumptions are also made about what potential contamination sources are included in the various types ofland uses. For example, it is assumed that rural residences associated with farming operations have specific potential contamination sources such as fuel storage, chemical storage and mixing areas, and machinery repair shops. Again, any errors in these assumptions can be easily corrected as the community moves beyond the assessment to develop a protection plan. Past, current, and possible future potential sources of contaminants were identified through a variety of methods and resources. In completing this inventory, DEQ used readily available information including review of DEQ, EPA, and other agencies' databases of currently listed sites, interviews with the public water system operator, and field observation as discussed below. The process for completing the inventory for PP&L Toketee Village's drinking water protection area included several steps, which are summarized as follows: Oregon Source Water Assessment Report PP&L Toketee Village-PWS #

14 1. Collected relevant information as of May 21 from applicable state and federal regulatory databases including the following lists: - DEQ Environmental Cleanup Site Information System (ECSI) which includes the U.S. EPA National Priorities List (NPL) and the U.S. EPA Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Information System (CERCLA) list; - DEQ leaking underground storage tank (LUST) list; DEQ registered underground storage tank (UST) list; - DEQ Active Solid Waste Disposal Permits list; - DEQ Dry Cleaners list; - DEQ Site Information System (SIS) which includes Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitted facilities; State Fire Marshall Hazardous Material Handlers (HAZMAT) site list (information on materials in a gas-form was not used since gaseous compounds rarely pose a threat to surface water or groundwater); - DEQ Underground Injection Control (UIC) list of facilities with registered underground injection control systems; and - DEQ Hazardous Waste Management Information System (HWIMSY) list which includes U.S. EPA Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) generators or notifiers and U.S. EPA RCRA Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility (TSDF) Permits. Because of the way various state and federal databases are set up, the specific location of listed sites is not always given or accurate within the database. DEQ verified the presence and approximate location of potential contaminant sources and land uses within the drinking water protection area by consulting with local community members and/or by driving through the area (windshield survey) as discussed below in subsequent inventory steps. 2. Interviewed public water system officials, or someone they designated as knowledgeable of the area to identify potential sources that are not listed elsewhere in databases or on maps and to assist in locating potential sources listed in the state and federal databases. 3. Conducted a windshield survey by driving through the drinking water protection area to field locate and verify as many as possible of the potential contaminant source activities. We looked for potential contaminant sources within four general categories of land use: residential/municipal, commercial/industrial, agricultural/forest, and other land uses (see Table 1). 4. Assigned high-, moderate-, or low-risk ratings to each potential contaminant source based on the Oregon Source Water Assessment Plan (1999). A summary of the types of potential contaminant sources and level of assigned risk is presented in Table 1 (Summary of Potential Contaminant Sources by Land Use). The "comments" section of Table 2 (Inventory Results- List of Potential Contaminant Sources) provides justification for any modifications to the risk rating that may have resulted from field observations that were different from what is typically expected for the specific facility. Relative risk ratings are considered an effective way for the water supply officials and community to prioritize management efforts for the drinking water protection area. When the local water supply officials and community "team" enhance the inventory for use in developing management options, further analysis may need to be conducted to more closely evaluate the actual level ofrisk. 1 Oregon Source Water Assessment Report PP&L Toketee Village-PWS # 41112

15 5. Produced final summary of the inventoried sources and the GIS base map, which are presented in this report. For surface water systems that encompass an area greater than 1 square miles, such as Toketee Village's, the database search and land use evaluation (Steps 1and2 above) were conducted for the entire watershed. Then additional inventory tools (interviews) and field verification of the higher-risk potential sources were conducted within the sensitive areas of the watershed. The additional windshield survey was also limited to the sensitive areas identified in the watershed. These sensitive zones of the drinking water protection area are comprised of lands within the 1,-foot setbacks from the center of streams and others as described above in the "Identification of Sensitive Areas" section of this report. Results The results of the inventory were analyzed in terms of current, past, and future land uses; their proximity to the intake; and their associated potential risk. In general, land uses that are closest to the intake and those with the highest risk rating pose the greatest threat to your drinking water supply. The inventory results are summarized in Tables I through 3 and are shown on Figure 3. The delineated drinking water protection area is primarily dominated by managed forestlands. Fifteen potential contaminant sources (detailed on Figure 3 and Table 2) were identified in the watershed. The potential contaminant sources identified in the watershed include the following: Forest Management/ Recreation.

Pacific Power and Light Hydro Project (extensive water canal system for power generation), Toketee Ranger Station, Clearwater Village, areas of high density housing with associated large capacity septic systems and wells, Pacific Power and Light Power Center/Substations, Highway 138, transmission lines, and Lemolo Transfer Demolition Station. The potential contaminant sources within the drinking water protection area all pose a relatively higher to moderate risk to the drinking water supply. This inventory of potential contaminant sources within Toketee Village's drinking water protection area provides a quick look at the potential sources that could, if improperly managed, impact the water quality in the watershed. Even very small quantities of certain contaminants can significantly impact water bodies. It is important to remember the sites and areas identified in this section are only potential sources of contamination to the drinking water. Oregon Source Water Assessment Report PP&L Toketee Village -PWS #

16 Susceptibility Analysis Methodology Susceptibility can be defined as the potential for contamination in the drinking water protection area to reach the intake on the surface water body being used by a public water system for drinking water purposes. Whether or not a particular drinking water source becomes contaminated depends on three major factors: 1) the occurrence of a facility or land use that releases contamination, 2) the location of the release, and 3) the hydrologic and/or soil characteristics in the watershed that allow the transport of the contaminants to the surface water body. ill conducting a susceptibility analysis the first step is identifying that part of the watershed that is most sensitive to contamination. This was accomplished after the delineation phase of this assessment. The second step consists of identifying and locating the potential contaminant sources in the drinking water protection area. Based on the type of facility and the nature of the chemicals they use, these sources represent a lower-, moderate-, or higher-relative risk to the surface water body. This step was accomplished in the inventory phase of the assessment. The third step in the susceptibility analysis is to overlay the results of the inventory with the map of the sensitive areas. The results of the inventory are analyzed in terms of current, past, and future land uses; their time-of-travel relationship or proximity to the intake site; and their associated risk rating. In general, land uses that are closest to the intake and those with the highest risk rating pose the greatest threat to a drinking water supply. The presence and locations of the potential contamination sources within the sensitive areas will detennine where the water system has the highest susceptibility to contamination. The susceptibility analysis cannot predict when or if contamination will actually occur, but it does recognize conditions that are highly favorable for contamination to occur. If a contaminant release to soils or water should occur in a sensitive area, it is very likely that contamination of the surface water body would occur if remedial actions are not undertaken. When several high or moderate risk sources are located within the sensitive areas, the public water system may also be said to have a high overall susceptibility to contamination. If a public water system's drinking water source is determined to be of high susceptibility, it is recommended that the system identify those condition( s) that lead to the high susceptibility and take steps to protect the resource (e.g., reducing soil erosion, or working directly with facility operators to implement sound management practices, etc.). Water systems with a low susceptibility should consider all identified factors that could lead to higher susceptibility in the future and take action to prepare a strategy to protect the resource in the future. 12 Oregon Source Water Assessment Report PP&L Toketee Village -PWS # 41112

17 Results The results of the potential contamination source inventory are combined with the locations of the sensitive areas to determine the most susceptible areas within PP&L Toketee Village's drinking water watershed. The total number of sources within the sensitive areas are summarized as follows: Overlaying the locations of the moderate- to high-risk sources with the sensitive areas provides an indication of the areas that are highly susceptible to contamination. The susceptibility analysis results are shown on Figure 3 (Source Water Assessment Results). Where the moderate- to higher-risk sources fall within the sensitive areas are those areas most vulnerable to contamination. In the PP&L Toketee Village watershed, it includes the distribution of the fifteen (15) identified sources within the areas of highly permeable soils, high erosional soils, high runoff potential soils, and within the 1' setback from the streams. In general, potential contaminant sources within the sensitive areas in the lower watershed pose greater risk than those in the higher areas of the watershed. The susceptibility analysis provides the water system with information on where the greatest risk occurs and where to focus resources for protection. When all of the assessments are completed in Oregon, DEQ will provide a second type of susceptibility analysis for the surface water systems, an "inter-system susceptibility" on a statewide basis. DEQ will develop a summary report describing how the PP&L Toketee Village watershed compares with other drinking water watersheds in the state. To normalize the results of the assessments, the total number of potential contamination sources will not be used. The density of the moderate- to higher-risk sources within the drinking water protection area and within the sensitive areas will be calculated. This comparison will be based upon the number and distribution of the potential contamination sources in the watersheds that serve as drinking water resources. The purpose is not to rank individual systems, but to provide general groupings of overall risk relative to other Oregon public water systems. This will enable state agencies to develop priorities for staffing and funding more detailed assessments and protection measures. Oregon Source Water Assessment Report PP&L Toketee Village -PWS #

18 Summary and Recommendations This assessment provides a basis for focusing limited resources within the connnunity to protect the drinking water source. The delineation provides the connnunity with information regarding the location of the land area that directly supplies the surface water intake, i.e., the drinking water protection area. The sensitive areas are those where potential contamination sources or land use activities, if present, have the greater potential to impact the water supply. When the sensitive area information is combined with the potential contaminant source inventory, the highly vulnerable areas are identified (referred to as a susceptibility analysis). These should become high priority areas to be addressed first with educational information, technical assistance, and focused outreach to landowners to encourage voluntary cooperation in protecting the water quality in this watershed. This assessment provides a basis for informed decision-making regarding connnunity planning. The delineation, inventory and susceptibility analysis provides the connnunity with a significant amount of information regarding where their drinking water comes from and an identification of some of the potential risks to the quality of that source. For example, knowing the location and status of the source area allows the connnunity's planning authority to potentially make informed decisions regarding proposed land uses that are compatible with both the drinking water resource and the vision of connnunity growth embraced by the connnunity. Educating the community citizens about the susceptibility and risks to your system enables more public involvement in any future decisions about the public water system. The results ofthis Source Water Assessment and the reconnnendations based on the results are sunnnarized below. + PP&L Toketee Village's public water system draws water from North Umpqua River. The source of this water is within the North Umpqua Sub-Basin of the Southern Oregon Coastal Basin. PP&L Toketee Village's drinking water protection area extends approximately.12 stream miles and include 84 acres of lakes. The delineated area encompasses a total area of 351 square miles. lllcluded in this area are a number of tributaries to the main stem including Clearwater Creek and its tributaries, Loafer Creek, and Lake Creek as well as Lemolo Lake and Diamond Lake. + Within the PP&L Toketee Village drinking water protection area, there are large areas identified as sensitive to contamination. Areas that are adjacent to the streams/river, areas that have high soil erosion potential, high runoff potential, and high permeability should all receive special considerations for protection. These are some of the areas where the risk is greatest for existing and fntnre potential sources of contamination impacting the water quality in the watershed. It is recommended that other natural conditions be considered and possibly added to the assessment results before proceeding with voluntary development of a drinking water protection plan. There are also some highly-permeable soils north of Diamond Lake that should be considered higher risk for groundwater contamination. These areas are very sensitive to any spills or release to soils because the contaminants could rapidly infiltrate into groundwater and discharge to North Umpqua River. The community should take steps to evaluate current and future land use in areas of highly permeable soils. The facilities or land uses that have been identified either on or in close proximity to these soils should be informed of the sensitive nature of the area and 14 Oregon Source Water Assessment Report PP&L Toketee Village-PWS # 41112

19 encouraged to adopt best management practices designed to minimize the risk of a contaminant release. + The susceptibility of the public drinking water system source depends on both the natural conditions in the watershed as well as the land uses and facilities operating in the watershed. The purpose of the susceptibility exercise is to identify those factors that may pose more of a risk than others within the community's drinking water protection area. It provides information with respect to facilities or land uses in the sensitive areas within the drinking water protection area that should be given greater priority in developing protection strategies. A review of the inventory and the sensitive areas indicates that the PP&L Toketee Village public water system has at least fifteen (15) high and moderate-risk sources within the sensitive areas in the watershed. It is highly recommended that the community "enhance" or refine the delineation of the sensitive areas and the identification of the potential contamination sources through further research and local input. + Due to the streamlined procedures for conducting the source water assessments, the results could potentially create a misperception that the "human activities" within the watersheds are higher risks than natural conditions or disturbances such as landslides and storm events. For example, it would be erroneous for communities to conclude that their source water was not at risk from natural conditions that produce sediments if there were no potential contamination sources identified within their watershed. It is recommended that the community take steps to ensure the natural conditions (both those identified in this assessment and any other additional areas identified by the community) within the watershed are considered when developing strategies for protection. + Public water systems may be threatened by contamination already in the surface water. Many public water systems conduct routine tests for contamination in the raw water prior to treatment. It is highly recommended that such data be used to determine existing risks in the watershed. Collecting and analyzing this raw water data by DEQ or OHD has not been done and is beyond the scope of this assessment. + This assessment provides a basis for dealing with future water quality work in the watershed. The delineation, inventory, and susceptibility analysis has been designed to serve as a strong foundation for further in-depth watershed assessments or water quality improvement efforts, such as Oregon's Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) plans. + The primary intent of this source water assessment is to provide the background information for the community to use in developing a local Drinking Water Protection Plan. The PP&L Toketee Village and/or the public water system should assemble a team to assist in the development and implementation of a Drinking Water Protection Plan. Clean safe drinking water is fundamental to the viability of any community. Protecting the drinking water source is a wise and relatively inexpensive investment in the community's future. The next section will discuss this voluntary process. Oregon Source Water Assessment Report PP&L Toketee Village - PWS #

20 Developing a Drinking Water Protection Plan This Source Water Assessment (SWA) Report for your public water system is a compilation of the results of the delineation of the source area, identification of the sensitive areas, and an inventory of significant risks. The final product, the susceptibility analysis, provides the basis for prioritizing the areas in and around your community that need to be protected. As we discussed in the introduction, our hope is that the community will use the assessment as a basis for developing a "Drinking Water Protection Plan". The process for developing a complete Drinking Water Protection Plan can be summarized as follows: ASSESSMENT PHASE (Source Water Assessment Report performed by DEQ and OHD) 1. Delineate the area that serves as the source of the public water supply ("drinking water protection area" for groundwater wells or surface water intakes) 2. Inventory the potential risks or sources of contamination 3. Determine the areas most susceptible to contamination PROTECTION PHASE (performed by community) 4. Assemble a local Drinking Water Protection Team 5. Enhance the Source Water Assessment 6. Develop a plan to protect the supply (reduce the risks of contamination) 7. Develop a contingency plan to address the potential loss of the system 8. Certify (optional) and implement the Drinking Water Protection Plan As you know, the assessment phase work was funded by the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. The assessment is simply the first three steps of developing a protection plan for your public water supply. Developing a protection plan is voluntary. Prior to moving into the protection phase, DEQ recommends the inventory presented in this document be reviewed in detail to clarify the presence, location, operational practices, actual risks, etc. of the identified facilities and land use activities. The SWA inventory should be regarded as a preliminary review of potential sources of contamination within the drinking water protection area. Resources within the community should be used to do an "enhanced inventory" to complete this preliminary list of potential sources of contamination. It is also important to remember that not all of the inventoried activities will need to be addressed if you choose to develop a Drinking Water Protection Plan. When developing a protection plan, sources which pose little to no threat to your public water supply can be screened out. For example, if any of the land use activities are conducted in a manner that already significantly reduces the risk of a contamination release, the facility would not need to re-evaluate their practices based on drinking water protection "management". One of the goals of developing a Drinking Water Protection Plan based on the inventory results is to address those land use activities that do pose high or moderate risks to your public water supply. The community should target these facilities with greater levels of education and technical assistance to minimize the risk of contamination. Limited technical assistance is available through both DEQ and OHD for communities that choose to move beyond the assessments and voluntarily develop a Drinking Water Protection Plan. Using the results of the assessment (and enhanced inventory), the local community can 16 Oregon Source Water Assessment Report PP&L Toketee Village-PWS # 41112

21 form a "Drinking Water Protection Team" of community members and develop a plan to reduce the risks of contamination from those sources. Forming a local team to help with the development of a protection plan is very important. Oregon's drinking water protection approach relies upon the concept of "community-based protection", as are many other water quality programs. Community-based protection simply refers to the concept of allowing local control and decision-making to implement the water quality protection effort. Community-based protection is successful only with significant local citizen and stakeholder involvement. The primary advantage of community-based protection is that it links community needs to environmental needs. Any successful protection program will need to be flexible enough to allow the community to adopt the "tools" or elements that are most appropriate for them. Allowing this local control in making the changes necessary for improving water quality will accomplish two key elements of restoration and protection. Community-based protection can draw on the knowledge and successful adaptive practices of the local area. Landowners generally know best how to achieve water resource restoration and protection as long as a thorough explanation of the problem is provided, the objectives are defined, and some free technical assistance is provided. Secondly, knowing they have more local control, citizens will also be more likely to participate in the program and more willing to assist with the educational and outreach effort which will make the plan successful. We recommend that the protection plan be developed so as to minimize any burdens on individual property owners, but maximize the equity in responsibility for reducing the risks of future contamination. Drinking water protection involves developing protection strategies for groundwater or surface water sources of public water supplies. There are many similarities between this program and other water quality protection programs, and it is essential that water quality efforts are coordinated and linked in each geographic area as much as possible. DEQ is committed to linking the drinking water protection efforts to other habitat and water quality improvement efforts for fish in Oregon, as well as the ongoing work to address Clean Water Act 33(d) waterquality-limited streams. One of the primary means of providing technical assistance is to give your community the information and coordination necessary to create these links. Other agencies will also be involved in providing technical assistance as protection plans are developed. For example, on farmlands, the Oregon Department of Agriculture will provide assistance as provided for under Senate Bill I I. In developing recommendations for protecting the drinking water source area, your community can maximize the use of existing programs in Oregon that offer free technical assistance. Examples of such programs include: pollution prevention technical assistance from the Department of Environmental Quality, sanitary survey assistance from the Oregon Health Division, household hazardous waste assistance from the Department of Environmental Quality, land use planning from the Department of Land Conservation and Development, agricultural water quality management plans Oregon Department of Agriculture, water conservation education from the Water Resources Department, or rural water quality outreach from the Oregon State University Extension Service. Protecting the drinking water supply in a community can also be a very effective way to encourage all citizens to participate in an issue which directly affects everyone in that community. This often leads to more public involvement in other significant local decisions Oregon Source Water Assessment Report PP&L Toketee Village-PWS #

22 concerning future livability issues (i.e., land use planning). In communities already developing and implementing Drinking Water Protection Plans, the process has served to bring many diverse interests together on a common goal and strengthened the local rural and urban relationships through communication and increased understanding. We must continue to do a better job in our outreach efforts to point out that we are all part of the existing water quality problems. The risks and sources of water quality problems are not only from industries, farmers, and managed forests, but every individual living, commuting and working in that area.
